Hello! My name is Carly and I'm 29. My weight has always been a constant yo-yo. I will sometimes get down to 150 and then without knowing it I'll be up to 165. I know I should be around 135/140. I hope this will help me. I can normally drop 5ish pounds really easily and then I get too confident and gain it back due to feeling like I can slack off a little. I run, but now that the chill is coming back to the air it's harder to find motivation since I will have to run on a treadmill. Looking for support so I can get it right this time!

    Thanks everyone! Looks like I came to the right place. It's going to be hard with the holidays, but I'm feeling more confident than ever!
